Re: [Felvtalk] Peta Kills Animals
No Kill Advocacy Center Read above link, by Nathan Winograd. His website has plenty of information about Peta, etc. The reason this is so close to my heart, is this - there is a woman in my hometown who has been trapping and killing feral cats for 35 years. We live in a pretty good sized city, we are the only active TNR group here, and she gets away with it. She is aligned with Peta. It's not just about Leukemia cats, it's about all cats. Your leukemia cats are worth saving, so are the homeless cats. I think they are one and the same.

Re: [Felvtalk] Peta Kills Animals
Me neither. I believe their goal is that animals should not be subjected to the "tyranny" of human ownership, even though Fluffy and Fido are no more capable of surviving "running free" than a goldfish (and when they do, usually have about the same lifespan as one). PETA needs to go back about a few million years in the evolutionary process and talk to the cavemen and wolves who buddied up in the first place. I'm not saying that all their causes are bogus -- circuses are cruel, the way we get our meat is unnecessarily brutal, and people should be concerned about those animals too. But yes, they are deeply hypocritical in their treatment of animals that have not "run free" since Man first picked up a stick and threw it. They have lost sight of what animal welfare and animal rights really mean.

[Felvtalk] Peta Kills Animals
-- PETA Killed 95 Percent of Adoptable Pets in its Care During 2008 -- This is a rather disturbing story forwarded to me by a vet. Hypocritical Animal Rights Group's 2008 Disclosures Bring Pet Death Toll To 21,339 WASHINGTON DC - Today the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) published documents online showing that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) killed 95 percent of the adoptable pets in its care during 2008. Despite years of public outrage over its euthanasia program, the animal rights group kills an average of 5.8 pets every day at its Norfolk, VA headquarters. According to public records from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, PETA killed 2,124 pets last year and placed only seven in adoptive homes. Since 1998, a total of 21,339 dogs and cats have died at the hands of PETA workers. Despite having a $32 million budget, PETA does not operate an adoption shelter. PETA employees make no discernible effort to find homes for the thousands of pets they kill every year. Last year, the Center for Consumer Freedom petitioned Virginia's State Veterinarian to reclassify PETA as a slaughterhouse. CCF Research Director David Martosko said: "PETA hasn't slowed down its hypocritical killing machine one bit, but it keeps browbeating the rest of society with a phony 'animal rights' message. What about the rights of the thousands of dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens that die in PETA's headquarters building?" Martosko added: "Since killing pets is A-OK with PETA, why should anyone listen to their demands about eating meat, using lab rats for medical research, or taking children to the circus?" CCF obtained PETA's "Animal Record" filings since 1998 from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Members of the public can see these documents at PetaKillsAnimals.com. P.S. Completely disturbing, especially as this appears to be a factual story. PETA does a TON of marketing and spends untold sums on glossy campaigns...perhaps they could spend SOME on Well run and well funded animal shelters.
